THE COST OF FEAR.

[Hook]
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
God on my line, all I'm getting is the dial tone

I am so lost, you haven't found me
So I atone, trying to get close to you
Swallow my pride, am I warmer?
I'm not that strong, too afraid to buckle up and ride

[Verse 1]
Only one woman with a presence that constantly feels better than my solitude
I'm sitting, staring through the looking glass
Knowing she ain't gon' like what I'm about to do to this beat
Cause I don't cease fire, six feet under where we fry
Needed guidance, cause I never concede if I don't succeed
Know even the Devil is gon' have to dig deep when I proceed violence
Cause I ain't here to do it your way
Law & disorder choose your fate
Died once, swore it on my own grave that the next time, I won't follow time
It'll follow me at my own pace
Shoot for the moon
Even if you miss, you'll be among the stars with your own space

[Hook]
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
God on my line, all I'm getting is the dial tone

I am so lost, you haven't found me
So I atone, trying to get close to you
Swallow my pride, am I warmer?
I'm not that strong, too afraid to buckle up and ride

[Verse 2]
Still trying to right a few wrongs that you haven't made peace with?
How do you expect respect or my trust when I've yet to be given any reason
I'll leave it at you believe in what most think is equality
Even though the odds aren't even, take a dive into my pool of thoughts
But please, don't mind the sharks swimming in the deep end
I'm reaping what I sow, yet mom's are grieving
And I know, life ain't to be compared to the lottery
But to just win and stay alive is rare like resuscitation in the midst of retrieving the shrapnel out of me
Just in, news of another unjust end
No peace or trust, so tell me what you've got left
Only time I ain't the realest rapper breathing is when I hold my breath

[Hook]
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
God on my line, all I'm getting is the dial tone

I am so lost, you haven't found me
So I atone, trying to get close to you
Swallow my pride, am I warmer?
I'm not that strong, too afraid to buckle up and ride

[Verse 3]
Dream chasing like Meek and them
Envision degrees and a house of balloons Graduation weekend, yeah
Searching for inner peace with a little decency and a kind heart
I'm trying to see you win, I was never the competition type, dawg
Too many of us let our dreams die, so we're walking round with the lights off
And speaking of rounds, clap it up for the people in gowns
Cap it off if you learn a trade, keep your screws tight
Cause they're speaking in rounds of applause now
And succeeding ain't what they gon talk about on the news
Economic apartheid for the poor
Still you should know I'm proud of you

[Hook]
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
Closet full of bones, watch your skin become your downfall
God on my line, all I'm getting is the dial tone

I am so lost, you haven't found me
So I atone, trying to get close to you
Swallow my pride, am I warmer?
I'm not that strong, too afraid to buckle up and ride
